Issue/Introduction

CLEANLOG.EXE purges entries from the XCOM for Windows log (XCOM.LOG). Items older the specified age are deleted. This assures that the file will not grow too large.

Environment

Resolution

CLEANLOG.EXE can be run from the command line or from a command file.
XCOM for Windows should be idle when this program is run.
XCOM does not save entries that are purged so you may want to back up the log before running CLEANLOG.
